Set Window Title in Forms 9i

I am running Forms9i,
I am using "separateFrame=false" to avoid having two windows Open.(explorer & java)
Does anyone know if there is a way to modify the default title of the
web browser(formsweb.cfg => pageTitle) programatically,
I want to update the title with the current database that I am connected to.
Could I somehow make a java call to do this for me ? Does forms store the Calling window object anywhere ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Tamas,
if you go to otn.oracle.com/products/forms then you find the Oracle9i Demos in the sample section.
(http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/general/forms9iDemos9_0_0_1.zip) It requires Oracle9iDS to be installed and also requires an updated Oracle installer. This one can be obtained from Forms9i patch 1. The cookie demo is in the demos path and has the PJC source code as well.
Following is a simplyfied PJC (untested, so I it may not compile by the first attempt) that should do what you are trying to achieve
package oracle.samples;
import java.applet.Applet;
import netscape.javascript.JSObject;
import oracle.forms.handler.IHandler;
import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
import oracle.forms.ui.CustomEvent;
import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
public class writeToBrowser extends VBean
public static final ID pWriteToBrowser = ID.registerProperty("SET_BROWSER_TITLE");
/* JSObject variables */
JSObject m_window=null;
JSObject m_document=null;
Applet m_applet;
/*Forms settings*/
IHandler m_handler;
/*Browser type */
boolean isMSIE= false;
public writeToBrowser()
public void init (IHandler handler)
try
super.init(handler);
m_handler = handler;
// get the forms applet handler
m_applet= m_handler.getApplet();
// get a handle to the applet window
m_window = JSObject.getWindow(m_applet);
We need to know the Browsertype. We are looking for MSIE and if this
string isn't found assume Netscape. This is needed because the Javascript
passing is different in Netscape
JSObject navigator = (JSObject) m_window.getMember("navigator");
String thisBrowser = (String) navigator.getMember("appVersion");
if (thisBrowser.indexOf("MSIE")>-1){
isMSIE=true;
else
isMSIE=false;
// For the Javascript we need a handle to the document
m_document = (JSObject) m_window.getMember("document");
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error Initialising Bean");
System.out.println(e.toString());
System.out.println("Stack Trace\n-----------------------");
e.printStackTrace();
public boolean setProperty(ID ID, Object args)
if(_ID== pWriteToBrowser)
// HERE IS WHERE TO PUT THE JAVASCRIPT CODE
if (isMSIE){
m_document.setMember("title",(String) _args);
else{
// Netscape
m_document.eval("document.title=\""+(String) _args+"\"");
return true;
else{
return super.setProperty(_ID, _args);
How to implement
- In Forms you will have to register this PJC (after compiling it) with a Bean Container (can be hidden)
- Add the MAYSCRIPT=true parameter to the Forms start HTML file
- Set the Browser title from Forms by a call to
set_custom_property('Bean Item',1,'SET_BROWSER_TITLE','Hello World');
Important: to compile this sample, the JSObject class is needed. It is contained in Netscape Browsers java40.jar file (just do a search for this file and add it to your project)

Setting the color of the window title in Forms 6i

How does one control or set the color of the title of the MDI and module windows
gordon
[email protected]

Gordon, I'm pretty sure this is actually outside the realms of Forms since the Window Manager is controlled by the O/S and so the only way you can set this is via the PC desktop (there is nothing exposed in Set_Window_Property that can do this).
Hope this helps.

Window title bar?

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to set the window title bar like the one
used by window.MessageDialog e.g. without the small icon image at the
left corner? If I set the window.IsToolWindow attribute to TRUE, the
small icon image is not displayed but the title bar font is twice
smaller (???).
I'm using Forte 3.0.G.2 on NT4.0.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Remove Window Title Bar (Forms 10g)

Is it possible to add the page title to the menu bar?

Does anyone know of any addons that allow you to add the webpage title to the menu bar? I already took a look at the addon Personal Titlebar, which purports to add the menu bar onto the title bar, but had no luck getting it to actually do what it advertised.
I like the way the menu bar looks beside the orange Firefox button, but would also like to be able to see the full page title in the blank space between "Help" and the title bar buttons (min/zoom/close). I don't want to enable the actual full title bar. That would be a waste of space.

That creates a title bar on top of the existing menu bar, which is what I want to avoid. I was hoping someone had created a way to combine the two easily, rather than having them exist as separate bars using double the screen real estate and leaving giant unused areas.
I was hoping for something more like what I mocked up in the included image. The top is with the title bar enabled, the bottom is the preferred result.

PHP/MySQL: 'Add New' text field from menu in form

I am creating an events posting website. I'm having a hard time finding the right words to describe this, but: I'd like the user to select a venue from the drop menu, but then if it isn't there, to select 'add new' from the dynamic menu, and have a new text field activate where they can enter in the new venue name. My database is currently set up so the event table links to the venue table through a venueID. Is there a way to insert the name from the new text field into the venue table, and have the rest of the form still submit to the event table? Sorry this is so wordy, but I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You cannot add a new value to a related table at the same time as inserting a record. So, to do this, you would need to use both JavaScript to add the new text field, and PHP conditional logic to handle the update to both tables. It's certainly doable, but not with the Dreamweaver server behaviors. You would need to do a lot of hand-coding yourself.
The way that I approached a similar problem in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4" was to permit NULL values in the column that holds the foreign key, and insert nothing into that field if the value hadn't already been registered in the related table. I created a static value in the dynamic menu for "Not registered".
After inserting the new record with "not registered", the user then needs to enter the new value in the related table.
Once that has been done, display a page that lists all records. In the SQL, I use a LEFT JOIN to ensure that "not registered" items come up as well. You can then edit the item to add the value from the dynamic menu.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works if you don't have the skill or time to hand-code all the logic yourself.

How add new HTML5 input tags to Insert,Form menu and Insert,Tag,HTML?

how do I add new HTML5 input tags to the Insert,Form menu and Insert,Tag,HTML tags menus of dw cs5?
I remember seeing some documentation about the latter, but it wasn't very good. can't figure out how to actually implement something, so need a mentor - and I am a software developer. :-/
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d77c2-800 0.html
but I am not sure what this applies to. manual is not clear on this.

I am removing it from my WATCHES since I find out what was wrong. In the submit.jsp, current needs to be setup instead of create.
<jbo:Row id="myrow" datasource="ds" action="current" >
Have a great week.

Forms window title

HI Gentlemen,
Could you tell me what to do in order to override the "Forms Developer Runtime - Web" standard window title? I substituted in formsweb.cfg the pageTitle parameter, it appears for a moment correctly, but it then again reverts to the above text. It would be good to see which particular application is running.
Thank you, regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

You sound to be having different applications set up in the formsweb.cfg. (Because, you said it would be nice to see the application name as page title.) Make sure, the following things are set:
1) Set the pagetitle separately for each application/config section in formsweb.cfg.
2) If you expect a unique page title for all the applications, then set the pageTitle in the default section.

Display forms title as a part of IE window title

Hi,
Does anyone know how to display forms title as a part of IE window title in Webforms 10g?
For example: if I am on the Order Entry form, the IE title would be Order Entry - Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Thanks all,
L

Thanks Terrible :-)
Yes, I did change the pageTitle in the formsweb.cfg to have the Application name. And you are right that is the one time only...
I would like to somehow passing a forms title as a variable that is appended to the Application title at runtime.
Gerd, you mention about the java applet which can interact back to the IE-engine. Have you done one before? I am new to this concept.
Thanks all for your help :-)

Add the current time to Openbox window titles?

I want to add the current time to window titles in openbox. Is this possible and if so, how would I go about it? I have googled this to death but can't seem to find an answer. If someone could even just point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I do have a clock, using conky, but it is covered up whenever an app is maximized. Yes I do know there are workarounds, and I have used them in the past, but I was looking for a different solution.
I am not all that good at programming but I will use this opportunity to learn more. Thanks for all the info that has been given already and I appreciate any more ideas anyone may have.

How Do I Add A Title To My Outline?

Sick of MS WORD so I broke down and bought PAGES this morning. So far I like it, but I was most excited about using the Outline Mode, however I'm trying to add a title to my outline, but I can only make it one of the actual bullet points. Anyone know how to add a title and for that matter, how to start and stop an outline within a document, meaning if I want to do a paragraph or two of plain text and then outline a few points and then go back to a paragraph. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You are definitely after List Style not Outline. Outline is just a way of looking at your document and moving parts of it around. You switch between that and the regular view of the document:
Menu > View > Show/Hide Document Outline
Lists are on the right of the toolbar. You may have to stretch the window out a little toi see it.
Download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu.

HP Stream 7 with Windows 8.1 - "Start Menu (Metro)" mode - closing apps problems

Ok, this is probably more of a Windows 8.1 issue, but I've noticed two things about closing apps (swipe down from top of screen):
1. If the app is "wider" than the display, and you scroll to the right, you CANNOT close the app unless you scroll all the way back left.
2. Any app that has any controls anywhere near any area of the top of the screen is extremely difficult to get it to start closing. I have tried as many as 10-15 times for some apps to close them. And anytime you get near those "controls" at the top - you can see you are affecting them as you slide your finger down - NOT the app.
3. When I have a BT mouse connected, I've noticed that putting the mouse towards the top of the screen will "pop" up something akin to the old Windows title bar, with a close button in the upper right (and a brief menu in the upper left). This works great - but doesn't seem to work with a finger or stylus - only the mouse. Is there a setting to change that to make it easier to close apps?
Suggestions?

Oh - might add, I'm taking it down to 802.11 b/g, instead of b/g/n, based on the other post.
I'm going to say there's something wrong with the "n" side, especially since it seems (after some reading), that it's really only "n" on the 2.4Ghz side. Most devices these days are "expected" to be on the 5Ghz to support the faster speeds. So I'm going to say that I suspect there's something at odds there in that type of config attempting to use "n" with this device.

Can I add a customer comment form to a standard product manual?

We just recevied Acrobat X (and Frame 9 before that) and would like to use forms or form fields to get comments back on the docs (pdfs and HTML) from paying customers. So far, I have created a small form in a huge document (only 4-6 pages but with videos, fonts, etc.) and it's too big to email. Can I put it on a repository and get comments back? Is the adobe distribution server the only way to do this? Am I way off base with this concept? Thanks for any suggestions or clarification.

Dear Ricardo,
Step1) First create the java script file in that you have to write the following code.
<script type = "text/javascript">
function close_windows()
window.close();
function DisableBackButton()
history.forward();
</script>
<html>
<head><title> close </title>
</head>
<form>
<script language="javascript">DisableBackButton();
</script>
<body>
<input type = "button" value = "close" onClick="close_windows();"/>
</body>
</form>
</html>
step 2) go to se80 in that mime repository go to sap create folder and export the above file.
step 3) go to your view where you want to add exit button.
check the link and write the code to your exit button methods.

Note : It will work only in Internet explorer

Hide/Replace Windows Title in 11gr2.

Hi All!
I m using Forms 11gr2, and want to show title of Company Name on the top of the Main Window, i.e. above my menu bar.
Previously I was using following built-in in Forms 6i successfully;
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,'Company Name'),
but now, it instead show two titles
-- Address bar of form (above my menu bar).
--Oracle Fusion Middleware title (above address bar of form) at the top.
which ultimately decreases my main windows size.
So, sir Please guide me how to disable these two Windows Titles and replace these with my Title as Company Name , above My Menu Bar Window.
Thanks & Regards.

Thanks & Regards.In version 11, the easiest way will probably be to use java script. For example:
Declare
     rtn     varchar2(255);
Begin
     -- rtn will return the value passed in
     rtn := WEB.JAVASCRIPT_EVAL_FUNCTION ('document.title = "This is my title."');
     message('The title has been set to '|| rtn);
End;Hope this helps..

PE7 crashes when I try to add a title...?

I bought PE7 a couple of weeks ago it's been a great piece of software, my measly 2.26ghz processor and 480mb of RAM handled it just fine and I was really enjoying liking the software.
So it came as a shock to me when one day whilst I was trying to add a title to my video, I was greeted not by a wonderoos selection of fonts but by a message apologizing for 'the inconvenience', the computer I was using did not have access to the internet and so I was unable to send the error report Windows had so kindly compiled for me, PE7 then decided to close...
"Well, never mind" I thought "I've only lost a few minutes work" So I tried again (to add the title), but the same thing happened, and again, and again e.c.t
The program only crashes when I try to add a title I cannot get it to do so any other way and everything else works fine. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a sucspision that one of the fonts may be corrupt, so if anyone knows the name of the folder they are stored in that would be helpful.
Thanks,

You stole some of my "thunder." Titler in PrE and in PrPro is very, very sensitive to fonts and problems. Fonts that PS, AI, InDesign and ohters will work with fine, will bring Titler to its knees. These can be corrupt fonts, badly formed fonts and even certain fonts. This also happens before Titler ever gets open. It occurs when it surveys the installed fonts on the system.
Now, and this might depend a bit on your exact OS, your installed fonts are stored in C:\Windows\Fonts.
I use a utility, Extensis FontDoctor to survey, repair and/or replace any bad fonts. A freeware program, FontFrenzy, (you do need to register, but it's still free) will do this too. It's so very much quicker, than the manual way of finding bad fonts.
One thing that I like about Font Doctor is that it can survey my entire system. On my workstation, I have over 12,000 fonts, though usually no more than ~200 loaded at any one time. Still, if I do install any, I do not want them to break Titler either. I use the Extensis Suitcase to manage/dynamically install these other fonts, as is needed for Projects.
Be aware that there are some fonts, that just kill Titler, regardless of what Font Doctor, or FontFrenzy say about them. One is Deja Vu, which is installed when one gets SunMicro System's Open Office. Something is wrong with that font, but it's not corrupt - it just flat kills Titler. I do not have an entire list of these rogue fonts, but would also suspect that some of the older Corel fonts might do the same. My recent Corel WordPerfect fonts do not seem to have any issues and I use several of these.
Try FontFrenzy, and see if it finds any corrupt fonts.
Good luck,
Hunt
